Hi, granny!

I swear I don’t know where my head is today...I was just apologizing to TenthAmendmentChampion for taking so long to reply and here I am in the same situation again.

I was on the thread about the plane crash ‘til very late last night and just flat out overlooked you guys. It makes me feel badly because everyone has been extra nice and helpful.

While I’ve got your attention I’ve got a question. We’re on 1 1/2 acres. Most of the backyard we left with natural vegetation (saguaros, Palo verde trees, etc.) Because of all the rain we’ve had over the past few months we have a bumper crop of what I was told is “saw grass.” It looks beautiful now, all green and lush, but as soon as it starts to warm up it dries up to a crispy brown mess. Sticks to your socks and won’t come off.

I’ve been working a few hours a day with a “scraper thing” to try to remove it but was wondering if there’s ANYTHING to prevent it from sprouting again? This is back breaking not to mention a fire hazard during the summer.

Hope you’re doing okay. Have you had the leak fixed yet?

Take care.

I am not a fan of using plant killers, it cannot be good for the soil and you might someday want trees or food there.

Pure vinegar, will kill plants if sprayed on them, and so will salt.

Maybe if you sprayed them while young, they would die.....

I understand the time on the plane crash, I got a notice from the FBI that they are “helping with the investigation, but terrorism is not suspected”.

Which tells me they do think it was terrorism that brought it down.
